Transcending Limits

At the same time, Leng Yue Yan also collapsed beside him, unconscious.

A middle-aged man in his forties appeared as the red box broke into countless pieces.

His body emitted a faint glow. In fact, from time to time, his body turned transparent at various parts.

He had a pale face akin to a corpse and a savage look in his eyes. His blood red hair danced to the wind as he floated in the air.

Looking at all the humans he knocked out of consciousness, his gaze focused on Ling Chen and Liu Feifei who were in the array.

A beam of black profound energy soundlessly appeared in his hands.

When the profound energy almost left his hand, he turned to Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan lying on the ground.

He looked at them amusingly as he said his thoughts loudly "These two are even more dangerous. But I"m very interested in this boy"s secrets." he licked his lips as he thought back to all the things he saw Sheng Tian do.

He laughed madly "I shall occupy his body and devour his soul. Then everything he has will be mine! I will reach a new peak with this talented body, hahaha."

He reached Sheng Tian and saw his closed eyes.

He sneered "Did you truly think that you would be able to stop my arrival? Your luck is too good to become my vessel."

Probably because of the long loneliness it had to bear for thousands of years, the "b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf" blabbered non-stop.

Just as he was about to touch Sheng Tian, a pinkish white light shone along with a tinge of darkness. The whole room was blinded by the light.

b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf eyes almost popped out as he looked at the person in front. No, it is better to call her "fairy" or "G.o.ddess"!

A young woman, who seemed to be around 16 or 17 years stood in the air.

With long silver hair, eyebrows like crescent moons and scarlet red pupils, threatening to suck the souls of every living being, as they added the beauty to her face sculpted by the heavens to utmost perfection.

The curves on her body were of the most precise ratio, making her extremely enchanting. Her long legs stayed in the air as her pink dress fluttered in the wind.

However, her scarlet red eyes were radiating with killing intent. The killing intent was countless times stronger and thicker than Ling Chen"s.

The killing intent froze the air as the temperature dropped to an insane range.

This time, Snow flakes didn"t appear, but the air started condensing into cold red liquid!

b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf, She is none other than Xiao Lian!

She was watching everything happening and was ready to help Sheng Tian in the last moment.

Now, that they encountered it has finally come to this, she chose to appear.

After she heard what the devil said, her thoughts of directly killing him disappeared. He must suffer!

Blood Wolf was in a trance as he saw the immortal beauty who could destroy nations, no, even worlds with her appearance.

He was definitely willing to make her his and drown in her beauty for the rest of his life.

The next second, he sensed the killing intent from her and was almost shocked to death.

He subconsciously checked her aura, the result made him petrified.

He stuttered "Di...Divine Cultivator!"

His reaction was understandable since Divine Cultivators were only a legend even for the devils.

Seeing him gaping in fear, Xiao Lian said coldly "Yes and you dared to harm him. I will torture your soul and rip it to shreds."

This made b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf incomparably frightened. As he thought of the way to escape the predicament, he carefully inspected her and started laughing crazily.

Xiao Lian"s eyebrows furrowed.

b.l.o.o.d.y Wolf said sinisterly "I would definitely be cowering in horror if you were really a divine cultivator. But now, you are only a soul and have just a bit of your original cultivation left.

Even more so, you seemed to be poisoned with some extremely terrifying poison. And you should be suppressing it by some unknown method currently.

Even if you suppress it, it only makes the next rebound of the poison more ferocious!

Each time you use your profound energy, the poison would your spread in your soul even further cutting your pathetic lifespan more and more each time. Your strength falls each time as well.

What a wonderful poison!

If you use your profound energy to kill me now, even with all the suppression, you would only have 2 years to live. That"s not all, your strength will fall from the boundary of divine realm to the mortal realm. Are you sure you want to kill me?"

There was a sense of accomplishment in his eyes as he spotted her weakness.

He could determine it only because of staying in the soul form all these years and was accomplished in poisons.

Even then, he didn"t know of the poison she was afflicted with nor the cure, only some basic properties.

But what he knew was enough to save his life or so he thought.

Xiao Lian"s expression turned stiff. She didn"t let Sheng Tian know this.

The very first day they met, she saw the uniqueness of his profound energy and was shocked.

His profound energy is able to suppress the "Asura Soul Annihilation Poison". But if they wish to dispel it just based on the suppression, then it won"t be one of the most lethal poisons of the Divine Realm anymore.

As Xiao Lian carefully observed the reaction of Soul Annihilation Poison to Sheng Tian"s profound energy, she confirmed that the best outcome is her living for 4 years.

Even if Sheng Tian reached the peak of Mortal Cultivation, by then the poison would spread in her soul completely.

No one would be able to save her. And every time she used profound energy, more poison spread in her soul.

After she decided to leave with him, she was trying to live the life she always wanted to, without any inhibitions of the world.

In the beginning, she used her profound energy without reservations as she just wanted to have fun before death.

But slowly she found herself being reluctant to end the life she was living with Sheng Tian. However, she also knew that it was not possible for her to live longer than 4 years. So, the best she could do was to use as less profound energy as possible and make sure that Sheng Tian is on the right track.

In fact, when she told him about the materials needed to build her body, her intention was to give Sheng Tian a reason and a responsibility to become stronger!

She wanted him to protect himself after she is gone!

Then, she started to use profound energy as less as possible.

She taught him the disguise art so that he could do it himself without her spending profound energy.

She also made the condition of not helping in fights so that he would learn to work hard and reach the peak by himself. It could also save her profound energy.

But that didn"t mean she totally gave up on hope.

In the Embrace of Death, she stretched her divine sense to the limit and tried to find if any of the miracles are possible. Alas, there was nothing that could cure her in the Forbidden Land! What should she do?

She could be back to a perfect soul only if she found rare medicines or that lost Heavenly Treasure—Heavenly Soul Lotus. But it is just too extravagant to even hope for that in this lower realm.

If it is fate, she would find either those herbs or the Heavenly Treasure.

Xiao Lian didn"t know what she felt towards Sheng Tian. She just.....didn"t want to leave him.

Upon thinking of the day when she would have to eventually leave him, a bitter smile filled her breathtaking face.

"Thankfully, he is unconscious" she thought.

If he knew the truth, she feared he might really punish her for keeping this a secret. More importantly, he will worry and might do something very risky.

Looking at the beauty"s stiff expression, Blood Wolf thought that his plan succeeded as he continued to persuade her " Why would someone like you lose your lifespan for a mere mortal?

How about we come to an agreement? I will give you this Qin Capital and the entire southern region of continent in exchange for this boy"s body. How about it?"

Xiao Lian was not even bothered to reply as she was feeling the urge to kill him grow second by second due to his words.

She descended to the ground and saw Sheng Tian on the ground.

Gently, she caressed his face. Her eyes were fixated on him, on every inch of him. She bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

She looked at the devil soul before her and said " No matter what you offer me, you would die for trying to harm him. Nothing can save you."

A pitch black dark aura was released from her body.

It is unlike the ones released by devils which were akin to resembling the blackness of human"s heart, it is the embodiment of the darkness itself!

Blood Wolf tried to move, but his words were stuck in the throat just like his body.

All he felt at that moment was "Inevitable Death" and "endless darkness". It is a terrifying feeling which made even the devil p.i.s.s his pants.

He struggled to move as he tried to wiggle frantically.

The next moment, he was surrounded by a coc.o.o.n of boundless lifelessness and endless darkness.

He felt like his soul being torn apart, grinded and cut into pieces, bitten all over.

Being in the soul form, the pain is much much worse than Physical pain. His life danced on the door of death.

"Pain" would be an understatement.

Even a devil of his position cannot take it, heck not even the Supreme One!

"Aaaaaaaah" "Aaaaaaaah" "Stop .....it..Sto...p it ...pl..eas..e"

His wails echoed in the whole place as he cried like a butchered pig. Gradually, his wails stopped, but the pain didn"t.

There was not a trace of emotion in Xiao Lian"s eyes.

Only indifference to the struggles of an ant.

Even if it dying, a lion would never be lower than a living ant.

So, even if Xiao Lian had to die one day, she would not allow herself to be on the whim of others.

"Ki..ll...m..e" a begging voice was heard.

Blood Wolf wanted nothing more than to die and end this inhumane pain.

His soul was tortured, almost killed, then healed and tortured again. He fell into an endless loop he could never get out.

Xiao Lian just smirked seeing the outcome.

With a wave of her hands, the aura around her disappeared without a sound.

She arranged Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan on the circular seats just like others.

Looking at the devil encompa.s.sed by the coc.o.o.n of darkness, she smiled. It was not a disdainful or cheerful smile she gave to Sheng Tian, but an utterly cold smile!

She spoke in an indifferent tone "Death? You wish death? So easily? Who do you think you are to demand death from this G.o.ddess? Are you even worthy?

If I was not able to stop you today, you would have taken his life. I would never allow someone who tried to harm him to even have a moment of peace.

Their life would be h.e.l.l and death would be the heaven!

You will be tortured for 3 days and nights before you die. Enjoy what you deserve!"

The coc.o.o.n disappeared into the darkness. No one knew where it went.

If not for her restrictions on the energy, she would have tortured him more on the impulse.

With a flash, she disappeared into the Snow Glazed Lotus.

Sheng Tian"s eyes were closed....just like everyone else
